*** About Loggerhead Sea Turtle: The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is one of the ocean's most familiar marine bivalves. Named for its disproportionately large head, which houses powerful jaws used for crushing prey such as crabs and mollusks, the loggerhead is a significant component of marine ecosystems. Listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), these turtles face threats from habitat loss, accidental capture in fishing gear, and pollution. Conservation efforts include habitat preservation, improved fishing practices, and public education campaigns aimed at safeguarding these magnificent creatures. Loggerheads are known for their long migration distances, often traveling thousands of miles, which makes global cooperation essential for their conservation.
